- "I’m going to need access to the Jedi Archives. What is the nearest temple to Thelj? Banchii?"
"Banchii is closest, but they are preoccupied with a number of issues, including a planetary outbreak of haver fleas." - ―Vernestra Rwoh and Yaddle
Haver fleas were a type of flea.[1] Around 160 BBY,[2] a planetary outbreak of haver fleas occurred on the planet Banchii. At the same time, Jedi Master Vernestra Rwoh was on the planet Thelj to investigate the illegal manufacturing of four-seven nullifiers, devices that could disrupt lightsabers. Rwoh decided she needed access to the Jedi Archives, and while speaking with Jedi Master Yaddle via hologram, Rwoh asked if Banchii's Jedi temple was the closest to Thelj. Yaddle confirmed that it was, but because the temple was preoccupied with a number of issues, including the haver flea outbreak, she recommended that Rwoh instead visit the temple on the planet Hynestia, which she did.[1]
Behind the scenes
Haver fleas were mentioned in The Acolyte: Wayseeker, a 2025 novel written by Justina Ireland.[1]

Notes and references
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 The Acolyte: Wayseeker
- ↑ The events of Star Wars: The Acolyte take place in 132 BBY per the reasoning here. Star Wars: The Acolyte: The Visual Guide establishes that Indara is fifty-four years old in The Acolyte and also states that she is twenty-six years old during the events of The Acolyte: Wayseeker. Therefore, the events of Wayseeker must take place around 160 BBY.
